True Beauty (2020)

true beauty

this kdrama is very similar to my id is Gangnam beauty because, there is a jealous girl. that "good-looking guy" and shocking their both cha enuwoo and that side guy that the main good looking guy hates. and the main female lead has had something done with her face for example this kdrama she had freaking plastic surgery. and in true beauty she put make up on just to look pretty and in both of the kdramas she became more 'likeable' and people liked her more. and I feel so bad for han Seojun i was rooting for him for like all of the kdrama and I basically got hooked because of him. I hated cha enuwoos character, and the girl s kind of a pick me girl I don't like im Ju Kyung and there was no character development except for the toxic girl because she became nice. and Suho became more disrespectful and mean like im Ju Kyung is his property and in the next episode they pretended like nothing happened and they were all lovey Dovey. normally I like high school set kdramas but this one just set me off and I hated it.

This drama made me feel love in a way I’ve never experienced

Well, I am only 17 and haven’t exactly been in love before, but this is what I imagine it’s like. This drama made me feel elated and lighter than air once I finished it. Legit after I finished the final episode I cried without tears for a solid hour because I was so happy, just falling about all over the place smiling, I was completely lost for words, it took my breath away.

Story: 10
I loved this story. I am a SUCKER for a cute love story and this is exactly it, NAIL ON THE HEAD. There were parts where I was like “NOOO”, but they were necessary for the plot and it made me want to watch even more and they drove the story onwards and HHH SO MANY EMOTIONS SOOOO MANY EMOTIONSSSS

Acting/ Cast: 100000000000
THIS CAST>>>>>> omggggg it was PERFECT LIKE I LOVED EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER THE CAST WAS PERFECT FOR THISSSSS THE ACTING WAS IMPECCABLEEEEE!!!!!!! The chemistry between actors made me feel some kinda way I’m telling you omg, even down to the side characters I loved every single one. You will 10000000% fall desperately in love with at least one of the male leads (I fell in love with both obviously can you blame me), their characters are so well crafted and their actions were so fitting. This goes for every character, the casting and acting was incredible.

Music: 10
Love love love. Brb just gonna listen to the OST on repeat on Spotify for the next yEAR. Legit don’t even get me started I listened to Starlight at least 5 times after finishing the final episode whilst silent tearless crying and bro I cannot eXPRESSSSS just- and tbh all the other songs too, they fit really well so much so I didn’t really notice it loads because it didn’t sound out of place AT ALL, it fit the scenes really well and complemented the mood :)

Rewatch Value: 1000000000000000000
I want to rewatch this now. Like, right now. So much happens and there were so many (and I mean it, SOOOO MANNYYYY) adorable moments that will just make you feel SOOO HAPPYYYYY AND WARM AND FUZZY and make you rewatch the same clip over and over and over again because it was so damn cUTEE. I’m telling you, you’re gonna love this and wish that everyone you know watches it too so you can watch it with them

Overall: The *best* and *cutest* most *incredible* drama I have watched so far EVER
The emotions it made me feel are indescribable. I hope that one day I can experience these same incredible feelings by being in love myself, and that I can make the other person feel the same way too :) I just wanna fall straight back into it, this drama made me feel so in love and I cannot even describe that feeling I genuinely can’t put it into words. I wanna feel that again. I wanna watch it over and over and over :) I hope you love it too :)))

Loved it- But rewrote the end in my head

I loved everything about this drama. FL great! ML and SML both so handsome and talented. HOWEVER I cannot stress enough how aggravating the last few episodes were for me.
*spoiler* i cannot stand this abandonment trope that is too pervasive. It’s not romantic. I loved ML but if he abandoned me like he did FL for such stupid reasons there woulda been no coming back. Especially when the sexy SML was there and in love with her. ML had lots of money. No reason he had to disappear for years and cut her off. No. Just no. STOP it! I was really hoping she’d tell him to take a hike

Not my favorite Drama but OK

Not my favorite Drama... but still good though. The story is good and it's very funny but all I can say that I have a cruch on Chan Eun Woo ! I don't understand people whom criticize his acting , I felt every emotions he felt and his smile just says everything...
Anyway, I also think that the end was a bit rushed, like the 2 last episodes came from ... nowhere ?? I really can't understand how they cut 2 years of their lives like that ... It was kind of wierd and not realistic AT ALL.
The FL was kind of hesitant with EVERY situation, like no personnality ??
But it was good though

overhyped but

I do realize that true beauty was really the talk for many months and I really refused to watch it because I felt that the plot was similar to my id is Gangnam beauty and I thought it'd be a bad copy.

now that I watch it I can safely say that it is overhyped, but it isn't as bad as some people are making it out to be. I'm trying to list down the stuff I hated about it would not be past 5.

its nothing different or out of the ordinary but it's still a good one if you want to watch something fun and light and dramatic.

compared to many shitty romcoms that are also overhyped this one can compete.

one of the things that was unforgivable was the lead actor's acting, I remember him in my id is Gangnam beauty and he was all the same cold singular expression. it was a bit boring for me to watch him act when other people were actually bringing something to the table like seojoon for example.

Dropped.

I read the webtoon and I had major issues with how the FL character has very very slow character growth that tends to null. I expected this show to have a faster growth , but was disappointed. Cha Eun Woo' s Suho comes across as very petty in the drama. The Suho in webtoon was supportive of FL in general and definitely supportive. The Suho in the drama kept requiring reaffirmation and support. It was just not my cup of tea.
Shoutout to the actor playing Seo Jun, he did a great job with that role and his chemistry with the FL was so great. Their fun-bits made the drama better for sure.
The drama Seo Jun definitely deserved the girl way more than Suho.

ITS effing LIT! PLUS the sixth episode was wholesome.

kkkk tffff yo I'LL DIE OF CURIOSITY WAITING FOR THE WEEKLY EPISODES. ISTG the show started out a lil slow and picked up gears sooo effing fast and smooth!!!! I'm in love with moon ka young and cha eun woo ( nothing new) they've really done a good job and han seo joon toooooo! the story started out pretty much the same as most but it's actually taking a good turn although with the same love triangle kind. I love the main leads (sobs) I highly recommend this show to everyone. (more sobbing). the plot so far has taken many turns and is very interesting. LMFAO there are so many funny turns too.
BEWARE! you will be pulled into the whole drama, lost to reality for a while, sigh (more sobbing). I love how they've tested different looks and touches to eunwoo's tsundere character (as in the character is interesting), plus the sister brother drama is OTP. AND of course!! there's Han seo joon, lmfao his duo with his male buddies and eun woo is entertaining. Yoona is so fierce in this show unlike Gangnam beauty (loved her there too) she's the perfect friend one could ask for. Lmfao episode 6 was the best so farrrr. it was hilarious, cute, lovely and sob worthy. CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE. someONE leak the episodes.

pretty disappointing

i was looking forward to the drama adaption since i've read the webtoon from the start.

it became obvious this drama was just a cash grab the second i heard that they cast cha eun-woo for the main
male lead. i still gave it a try and sadly it was just as expected - lame storyline and bad slapstick humor with a few hot people thrown in there to mask the lack of good acting. i'm pretty surprised this drama got an 8+ rating, but i guess the drama might be more popular with a specific age group or people who never read the webtoon.

all in all they could've done a lot more with the whole two identity premise, but granted - the webtoon didnt do so either.
